By default, a <textarea> is aligned to the left. But if it's centered or you need explicit alignment, here's how to ensure it aligns to the left:
Using HTML & CSS
HTML
<textarea id="my-textarea"></textarea>
CSS
#my-textarea {
  display: block; /* Ensures it doesn't behave as inline */
  margin-left: 0; /* Removes left margin explicitly */
  text-align: left; /* Aligns text inside textarea */
}
Quick example with inline CSS
<textarea style="display:block; margin-left:0; text-align:left;"></textarea>
Key Takeaway:
- 
Use display: blockandmargin-left: 0to position the<textarea>itself.
- 
Use text-align: leftto ensure text within the textarea is aligned left (default behavior).
